Once Reflect activated, the game was over.

Damage rebound was just a momentary occurrence, yet the cultivators’ complexions turned as pale as paper, fresh blood spurting from their mouths. They had just launched their full force attacks, only to suffer severe injuries from the backlash.

“What is this?”

“That guy didn’t even make a move, why are we the ones suffering internal injuries?

“Unscathed, there’s something off about Li Xiaobai. It’s not just that his swordsmanship is bewitching. We put our all into this attack, yet he seems to have hardly been touched. His physical body is extraordinary!”

“That guy is coming over!”

The cultivators’ eyes filled with horror. It was their first time encountering such a cultivator, one they couldn’t harm, and instead, they were the ones injured. This round was likely a loss for them.

The binding chains in the void disappeared, and Li Xiaobai walked slowly towards the Formation. Being unable to escape bindings had always been his weakness, but luckily this time his attackers had taken the initiative, otherwise, he might have been easily captured. Going forward, he’d need to devise a strategy to compensate for this shortcoming.

Hellfire made for a decent skill; it just required time and resources for development. It was a long-term investment.

Ignoring the cultivators’ attacks, he casually walked into the seventh Formation.

With a flick of his wrist, a Longsword appeared in his hand. With an upward swing, he brought it crashing down viciously towards the cultivators.

Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch!

In an instant, the cultivators who were sprawled on the ground erupted with force, rushing towards Li Xiaobai’s location, entering the Formation.

“Our bodies aren’t responding!”

“This is the Demon Sword’s Cultivation Technique!”

“We’ve all been immobilized!”

“Damn it, why haven’t the people from the Three Sects arrived yet?”

The cultivators were panic-stricken. Approaching the edge of the Formation, their bodies showed no signs of stopping, running at breakneck speed through the Formation as if they felt no pain, their flesh tearing apart and their bodies gradually turning into skeletons, scattering to the ground.

The seventh Formation too became a sea of blood.

Picking up the Space Rings from the ground, Li Xiaobai moved on.

Excluding the unknown tenth Formation, he was nearly through the remaining nine. The individuals who could make it this far were few, all of them top-notch prodigies from their respective clans.

The commotion from the seventh Formation had also alerted them.

When Li Xiaobai emerged from the Formation, only a handful of people were standing by, pondering how to break through the next Array Formation. One of them was none other than the Saint Heir of the Array Formation Sect, Zhen Qiankun.

An old acquaintance, indeed.

Zhen Qiankun had also seen Li Xiaobai, his gaze involuntarily sharpening. He thought he saw a familiar shadow on the other person, a vague sense of unease forming in his heart.

This was bad news. Could this person be Li Xiaobai? If so, things were serious. The opponent had made a comeback, and from the looks of it, the cultivators from the previous Formations had already been killed.

The Three Sects’ Sect Masters hadn’t appeared yet, and he knew that the few prodigies present were no match for the opponent. He needed to figure out a fast escape.

“Who are you, to run wild in the Array Formation Sect? Have you thought about the consequences?”

A young man lightly fanned himself with a feather fan and spoke indifferently. He was a True Disciple from a Great Sect in the Central Province, not the top genius of his Sect, but still notable in Central Province.

Li Xiaobai’s fame had been growing, but not many had seen his true face, let alone now when he was in disguise.

The rest of the exceptional young cultivators also fixed their cold gazes on Li Xiaobai, who dared to cause trouble in the Array Formation Sect’s trial Formation, clearly provoking these talented individuals.

“I am Li Xiaobai, and today I have come to borrow the Space Rings of several esteemed individuals.”

Li Xiaobai laughed mockingly.

As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the area instantly froze. The pupils of the few geniuses shrank sharply. Recently, this Li Xiaobai had caused quite a stir, successively causing trouble in both the Elixir Sect and the Qi Sect and even managing to escape from under the Sect Masters’ hands.

Now, the Three Sects’ Sect Masters were waiting inside the Array Formation Sect to prevent Li Xiaobai from continuing to make trouble.

They never imagined that, despite this, the man would still slip in and even wreak havoc. From the looks of it, it’s likely that there were no survivors from the previous formations.

“You are Li Xiaobai, and you have the audacity to show up here when the Three Sects’ Sect Masters are just outside this trial ground of the Array Formation Sect!”

The young man clad in white had a cold look in his eyes. All geniuses are competitive by nature, and recently Li Xiaobai had been in the spotlight, making these inherently noted talents pale in comparison. In his view, Li Xiaobai was nothing more than someone riding on the coattails of the three great Sects, generating buzz for himself.

In essence, he didn’t possess much real talent or skill.

Merely slaughtering the cultivators in a Formation could also be achieved by himself using some special methods, so the Blood Qi suffusing that Formation did not intimidate him.

“Heh, my friend, there are no Three Sects’ Sect Masters here, just you and me. Here, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to your rescue. If you want to save your life, just hand over the Space Ring honestly!”

Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently. He still had some goodwill for the Three Sects’ Holy Sons, after all, it was because of them that he was able to learn of the frontier secrets, and in the future, it’s possible they would even fight side by side, so it would be inappropriate to deceive and kill them together.

However, when a goose passes by, pluck its feathers; even with dear brothers, clear accounts must be made— not a dime less for the price of their lives.

“In your dreams!”

“You’re just a cultivator who had a bit of luck in gaining attention, you really think you can contend with us? Today, I will capture you and hand you over to the Three Sects for judgment!”

The sword-browed young man in white stood tall, his eyes full of murderous intent as he stared intently at Li Xiaobai.

The other exceptional young cultivators appeared to enjoy the spectacle. They were considered top-tier in Central Province; if not invincible amongst their peers, at least they had never been defeated. Although Li Xiaobai had some fame, they did not take him seriously.

This kind of sensationalist act to court public attention, they disdainfully ignored.

But it was precisely at this moment, an abrupt voice suddenly emerged from one side.

“Here, Brother Li, this is my Space Ring, please accept it. I am Zhen Qiankun, and I hope Brother Li will, for the sake of old times, spare these gentlemen.”

Zhen Qiankun very astutely took off his Space Ring and handed it to Li Xiaobai, knowing the rules. He had already experienced Li Xiaobai’s feather-plucking ways in the Tianbei Secret Realm.

Li Xiaobai glanced briefly at the ring. The treasures inside were plentiful, likely the entirety of his fortune for this outing.

He nodded and smiled, “Good, the Saint Heir is sensible. I like dealing with people who have discernment.”

“Saint Heir, what do you mean by this?”

“Li Xiaobai is the enemy of the Three Sects, and yet you submit to him, it’s simply disgraceful for the Saint Heir of the Array Formation Sect!”

“Right, we are the true favored children of Central Province, how can a mere sensationalist stand above us? To think the Saint Heir turns out to be someone who is afraid of death!”

“Saint Heir, I am very disappointed in you!”

The few exchanged words heatedly, causing Zhen Qiankun’s face to turn pale with anger, suddenly yelling, “Shut up, all of you!”

Damn it, these geniuses had no clue of the situation, lacking complete awareness.

He was trying to save them, but these geniuses, on the contrary, were continually courting death. If they were to irritate Li Xiaobai, it’s likely that not a single living soul would leave this place today!
